What do you think?

What do you think about divorce? Check the opinions you agree with.

  • Children don’t want to see their parents unhappy or fighting all the time. So divorce may help the children, not hurt them.

  • When parents get divorced, they should explain to their children that the divorce is the parents` problem and that the children are not to blame.

  • Divorce is wrong. Husbands and wives should try hard to stay together.

  • With or without children, it doesn’t matter. When love ends, the marriage is over.

  • It is OK to get divorced if you don’t have children. But if you do have kids, you should never get divorced.

Looking at the issue

In many countries, the divorce rate is getting higher and higher. Is there a way to lower it? Check the ideas you like.

  • The government gives money as a reward to couples who have been married for a long time.

  • Divorce is not allowed, except in certain situations, such as terrible mental illness.

  • The government charges a high tax on divorces.

  • The government hires marriage counselors to give advice to people.

  • Couples live together for a few years before they decide to get married.

  • Couples live together but don't get married,

What are your ideas?

V. Toshi is worried about his 78-year-old mother. Read Toshi's conversation with his wife, Midori, and find out: what do they want to do for his mother? Taking care of Mother

Toshi: We have to face the facts. Mother is too old to live alone.

Midori: Yes, you're probably right. She is getting older, and since your father died, she seems very forgetful.

Toshi: Mother will need someone to take care of her in the near future.

Midori: Perhaps we could hire a nurse. You know, someone who could come in during the day, clean the house, cook some meals, make sure she takes her pills.

Toshi: But nurses don't do all of those things. You're thinking of a nurse and a housekeeper. Who would pay for that? It will be very expensive!

Midori: Well, Toshi, what are you thinking?

Toshi: Since I'm the only child, we have to take care of her. She can come to live with us.

Midori: Here? In this tiny house? There are only two bed­rooms. We can't move our two daughters out of their small bedroom.

Toshi: What else can we do? We can't afford to hire a nurse and a housekeeper. I'm her only child. Her husband, brother and sister are all dead. We have to take care of her.

Midori: May be we could look for a bigger house.

Toshi: In Tokyo? You know that's impossible. We tried look­ing last year and everything in this area of Tokyo is too expensive.

Midori: Let's move away from the city. Someplace cheap.

Toshi: But then I would be far away from my office. It might take me two or three hours on the train. I hate to commute. No, the only solu­tion is for Mother to live with us here.

  6. What was Toshi`s solution?


What do you think?

Which opinions do you agree with? Check as many as you want.

  • It's too expensive to take care of old people. I think the government should be responsible for taking care of them.

  • Taking care of elderly parents is the child's duty. So the child should not depend on other people or on the govern­ment for help.

  • Your parents should live with you when they're old, even if your house is small.

  • If your mother or father suddenly comes to your house to live, it will cause a lot of problems.

  • Elderly people should live in special homes. They shouldn't bother their children.
